Cost of Living Index for the American States, 1960-2003 (ICPSR 1275)

The authors constructed a state cost of living index for
the 48 continental United States, measured annually for the period
1960 through 2003 (to update an index for 1960-1995 introduced in the
authors' May 2000 Journal of Politics article).
